Same Old, Same Old

There is not much to report on mom this week. She is doing the same. The doctors are concerned with the lack of walking ability. There always seems to be no reason they can think of that mom has no ability what so ever to move. She is one unique lady and as always insists on being unique in her illness.
We do however have a PET scan set up for this Thursday the 11th of June. We will find out all sorts of information from this scan. We hope to know why she can't see. The eye dr. has scheduled his scan to coincide with this one. We also will get a good handle on how all of the treatments have worked. This will tell us where to go from here as well. The down side to this is after the scan is taken it can take a full week to get all of the results back. I don't know about all of you but I feel like pushing time faster to get at this information. It seems like having an illness is a huge wait and see game. Wait for the test results, wait to see if it worked, wait to see if something grows back, wait to see the doctor. What a test in patients. Not my strong suit.
Dad sounded tired when I talked to him. He and all the wonderful women who come to take care of mom are working hard. I worry about my dad. Please keep him especially in your prayers. He is handling everything in a stride, but it is never easy to see the love of your life go down hill. He is still working some and I know this gives him a much needed break. Not so much from the worry or the stress but at least something else to focus on for a few hours.
Thanks again to all of you for your help, prayers and reading this blog.
